[Music] So yeah [Music] Avatar and Global Express. Yes sir, it's your 2005. What can I tell you? 13 million five hundred thousand. Are you doing this for a customer? No, no. We have a small jet at the moment. We have a little 35A. Uh, it's really hunting for, so it's like he hasn't got the time. So I've been lumped for the task.

Wow, your 35, I mean that airplane's got to be about 50 years old. [Music] A Global Express is to do the same thing. Are you going to keep that airplane? Obviously for shorter trips or, uh, it's gone a bit more Global. So that's why we're looking at a bigger jet. What's your time period? Do you think you're going to be looking to buy?

Uh, talk to people like yourself, nearly with, uh, what the market is looking like and, uh, price wise option and what's your budget? It's around. I have your, uh, your phone number here. How do you say your family name please? Okay, and your first name? Yeah, so you have my email. If you could just send that to me so I have all your details, and then I'll shoot that right back to you.

And the airplane is, uh, US-based too, just so you know. Sure, no, that's easy to, uh, accomplish or if you just want to pay the direct operating cost, you know, maybe get a phone to you, but whatever works. Let's see if we get that far. That'll be great. Thank you. Take care.

Yeah, that's a real inquiry. I mean, they have a, that airplane to have is, I was only joking 50 years. But, um, that airplane's probably got to be about 30 years old. It's a tiny airplane. It holds about six people. One that is sort of a little smaller than inside a minivan Viano. It's one of those airplanes we get in. You can't stand up; there's no toilet, but it has a range basically of going about five hours.

It's an airplane that was really, really one of the main popular jets in the early days, the Learjet Leo 35. It's a real customer and there's probably a potential he is going to buy something before the end of the year. Just from that short phone call, it was easy to tell what makes me believe he's real is that this was a principal's pilot calling from their office. He was very open answering the questions. He told me what his budget was; he told me the time period they're looking to buy. He told me what they were flying now; he told me what their typical long-range trips were and how they needed an airplane to fulfill a new demand based on increased business use.

And I just, all the questions just fit together. You just have a gut when they answer the questions the right way. [Music] Foreign [Music]
